That’s working as intended; as the compose docs state, the command passed by run overrides the command defined in the service configuration, so it wouldn’t normally be possible to actually shut down all the containers and then use docker compose run to interact with one of them. Run doesn’t start anything up in the container other than the command you pass to it.

I’m not familiar with funkwhale, but they probably meant either to (a) shut down all the containers except postgres so that running pg_dump has something to connect to, or (b) use exec as you have done.

Personally, I do what you did, and use exec most of the time to do database dumps. AFAIK, postgres doesn’t require that all other connections to it are closed before using pg_dump. It begins a transaction at the time you run it, so it’s not interfering with anything else going on while it produces output (see relevant SO answer here). You could probably just leave your entire funkwhale stack up when you use docker compose exec to run pg_dump.

Whatever distro you pick will have instructions for where and how to install the drivers, if it doesn’t do so for you during the install. Ubuntu is probably most likely to do so easiest. I prefer Fedora for other reasons, which is also easy to get nvidia working, but sightly less easy than Ubuntu where it’s a single checkbox during OS install.

The something that sucks is lack of money. Paying developers to do work definitely helps. It’s unfair to level unconstructive critique at the end result when it hasn’t ever had the same opportunity to thrive that the paid software you’re comparing it to had.

Serif produced a nice software suite by paying developers. They got that money from investors who made it by exploiting people (like every corporation) and then exploited their workers and customers in turn. While this resulted in a relatively nicer alternative to Adobe shit, it still isn’t ideal.

Imagine if GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape, and Krita all had the kind of financial support that corporations do. Blender and the community supporting them are figuring it out to some extent, and now Blender has essentially either matched or eclipsed the corporate competition. This is absolutely possible for other FOSS software, but we the community need to be there for them financially too.

Jeez. Sounds like Roblox is horribly designed if the only way they can secure their servers is through client side measures.

gnome devs would realey really like it if you didn’t use extensions

This is patently untrue. The GNOME developers even maintain their own repository with a bunch of extensions for people to use. Why would they do so if they didn’t want anyone to use them?

Do extensions break on GNOME major version upgrades? Sometimes, yeah. Nobody is forced to upgrade if they don’t want to, and it’s not like you log into your desktop one day to be surprised with a broken system. There’s even an upgrade assistant that will tell you prior to an upgrade if any extensions will break.

This pervasive loud minority of whiny complainers spreading nonsense about GNOME is annoying. It’s free software; don’t use it if you don’t like it, that’s fine. But don’t spread lies about it, that’s childish.

Calm down Nancy Drew, what difference does any of this make? So what if it’s actually two people who are dating or not? Go apply your dubious detective skills towards something useful if you aren’t going to answer their questions.

Fair enough to chime in with your disinterest in a new controller, but…

Why would anyone buy something just to say they own it? What the hell kind of “keeping up with the Joneses” shit is that?

Just in case y’all aren’t being snarky with your questions…

No, the 8bitdo controller is just a fairly standard looking normal controller with a few extra shoulder buttons. It’s only $30 USD and has nice color options, but it is not remotely comparable to a Steam controller.

I can’t tell if maybe you’re joking, but is there another way to pronounce decal? I could in theory imagine someone saying it like “dick-al” but that seems unlikely.

American here, I can’t speak for Canada, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard any Americans in the US in real conversations say it differently than it is in Star Trek.

I’ve lived in nearly every major region of the US, so if there’s a place where they still pronounce it like “dah-ta” it must be a very small regional thing. Normal working class people having actual conversions everywhere I’ve ever been say “day-ta”.

I’ve read before that Patrick Stewart is the reason for that changing, but I don’t know if that’s true. Seems like an outsized influence for one guy to have on culture, but maybe!

There are a ton of great UI libraries available, many with bindings for whatever our preferred languages are. We don’t need an LLM for any of that.

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is a great epic feeling fantasy read. I recommend it heartily; I believe it’s her first book (?) but it’s incredibly well written and immersive.

Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson was a step out of my own comfort zone, since I don’t typically prefer real world settings, but I enjoyed it immensely. It’s set in basically the current era, and the main character is a hacker who ends up accidentally getting involved in a magical hidden world.

The Shades of Magic series by V. E. Schwab is a lot of fun. Alternate universe fantasy with tons of magic.

Creation of the Gods was awesome, IMO.

According to Wikipedia, it’s “the most ambitious and expensive Chinese production ever made.” If you like epic fantasy like LotR or GoT, then you should definitely give this movie a try.

The second in the trilogy came out in January, but I haven’t had time to watch yet. Looking forward to it though!

Technology is not the problem, it is a tool. As with any other tool, it can be misused; that doesn’t make the tool the source of the problem. There is nothing inherent about technology that means it must be used for evil.

The real problem is how capitalist industry uses that tool, and every other tool at their disposal, to exploit and discard humans, and the collateral social and environmental damage wrought by that system.

Capitalism is the nefarious problem with technology, not the technology itself.

Basically everything I can recall being told in D.A.R.E program classes (war on drugs era propaganda taught in public schools in the USA) was utter nonsense and fabricated bullshit. After actually having personal experience with most of the substances they vilified, none of the effects - good or ill - are what I was taught in that ridiculous program.

On the contrary, some of the fear tactics they used made me curious to investigate on my own. The breathlessly scared rural teacher describing the mind bending effects that “magic mushrooms” was supposed to have sounded fascinating to teenage me. In reality, they are very fun and therapeutic to use, but nothing like the wild Alice in Wonderland mind journey they made it sound like it would be.

Objections to AI are well known and widespread, especially in creative communities. Asking for them to be listed out in detail yet again amounts to little more than sealioning at this point. Stop feigning ignorance; you had to know that recommending AI slop in a community founded on appreciation for human art would get a negative reception.

Isn’t that trivially simple to address though? Just add :z to the end of the mount value string, and restart the container.

This is cool! I’m almost more interested in the underline gaps for descenders that got snuck in as a “oh yeah I did this too” feature. That makes underlined text so much easier to read, IMO.

I mean … magic like in Pokemon

This would have been good context to include in your original post. How the heck is everyone else supposed to know that this is what you were asking about?

Also, you might get more of the answers you’re looking for if you ask in a Pokémon community instead.

Using RPMs through a frontend like Discover or Gnome Software can sometimes have unintended side effects that are much more easily anticipated when using dnf.

Just the other day, I uninstalled something through Gnome Software that was an RPM, and it also removed fuse-fs packages, breaking all of my appimage stuff until I manually installed fuse again.

This doesn’t ever happen with Flatpak in my experience, though I could just be lucky. It makes some sense to limit the destruction potential for less technical frontend installers like Gnome Software and leave the RPMs to something else like dnf. Though, I do really enjoy being able to open a manually downloaded RPM in a nice GUI to install it.
